The case of the invisible msp's

[Nick]

Sorry if this has already been brought up on here before, yesterday whilst defending an fb I watched an opel pull up right next to me, I put a few shots into it, his rear doors opened and he despawned (or so I thought) I then watched as 2 ei appeared out of thin air, I shot the 2 ei and blasted the area where the msp was, no more ei spawned.

Later that day I was defending a town in a vickers when an emsp was reported and marked, I headed straight to the mark where and once there I witnessed a lot of ei spawning at an invisible msp.

Even later that day I spawned at one of our msp's only to find that was invisible too.

Is this a slight bug or a feature? I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing but thought I'd mention it anyway.

could be a bug from them attempting to fix the msp's appearing as paratroopers.

.report it as soon as you see it.

.report it as soon as you see it.

but they are invisible...

This was caused by the hot patching of the game client where those who were still in the game with the old client were creating invisible MSP's to those who had just logged in and been patched up already.

As players logged off and relogged later to be patched the problem gradually went away. It should be pretty much non existant now.

Thanks for the explanation DOC.
